Because software that isn't protected by walls of legislation value features and the end user UX. i.e. "evergreen". Your Nokia N900 running Meego may be sufficient for certain subsets of HN readers but your average user wants Material Design and cannot care less about ideological purity or "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

"average user wants Material Design" - is that a fact or just a wishful thinking from people trying to push said design?

EDIT: Personally for me while I find for example older windows interfaces ugly they were very consistent and functional. In modern designs I sometimes could hardly find what is clickable/actionable. It is not interface working for me but the other way around

No, users most definitely do not care about Material Design. They only care about being able to quickly do the task the app or web site claims to allow them to do.

Meego was never stable on the N900. Most people who are still using one are running Maemo.
